GERSHWIN (GEORGE & IRA)Group of items sent by Ira Gershwin to a British fan, comprising: i) Signature ('George Gershwin') clipped from a cancelled cheque, affixed lower left to a black and white portrait publicity photograph of George Gershwin in a pin-stripe suit playing the piano, 165 x 229mm., slight vertical crease towards right, mounted in 'Diamond-Color' card folder, [1934]; with accompanying typed letter signed ('Ira Gershwin') to Mrs Peggy Dunne, explaining '...His actual signature, clipped from a canceled check, is pasted on the photograph...', continuing '...As for Cleo Laine, I have of course heard of her and like her voice and her interpretations... she and Ray Charles have just completed a Porgy & Bess album...', one page on 'Ira Gershwin' headed notepaper, creased with some marks, 4to, 1021 North Roxbury Drive, Beverly Hills, 29 July 1976 ii) GERSHWIN (IRA) Lyrics on Several Occasions, AUTHOR'S PRESENTATION COPY, inscribed on half title ('Best wishes/ Ira Gershwin/ Beverly Hills, 12/24/'77/'), The Viking Press, 1973; with accompanying typed letter signed on behalf of Ira Gershwin ('Walter Reilly'), to Mrs Peggy Dunne, apologising for not replying to her sooner and sending a signed book in recompense, one page on 'Ira Gershwin' headed notepaper, creased, small tear along centre fold, remains of old tape, 4to, 1021 North Roxbury Drive, Beverly Hills, 10 May 1978 (4)Footnotes:'THE LEFT HAND PLAYS THE MELODY UPSIDE DOWN, WHILE THE RIGHT PLAYS IT STRAIGHT, ON THE THEORY THAT YOU SHOULDN'T LET ONE HAND KNOW WHAT THE OTHER IS DOING' (George Gershwin, Music by Gershwin radio broadcast, 19 February 1934).This publicity photograph of legendary composer George Gershwin was taken for his little-known 1934 radio programme, Music by Gershwin which, according to Sarah Sisk, was '...crucial to the existence of one of Gershwin's greatest works, Porgy and Bess... It highlights an important aspect of Gershwin's popularity in his own lifetime – his penchant for being at the forefront of music technology... public broadcast radio...'. Conceived as a way to raise funds for Porgy and Bess, his first full-length opera, the programme aired for the first time on the NBC Blue Network on 19 February 1934, running twice a week until the following May and revived again in September to December. It was sponsored by Feen-a-mint, a chewing gum laxative, and Gershwin selected and introduced the numbers for each programme, his informal dialogue peppered with jokes and anecdotes. The New York Times wrote after his death in July 1937: '...his genius freshened the life blood of radio... his growth and triumphs paralleled the magic advances of broadcasting which in a flash introduced his popular melodies to the entire nation...' (Sarah Sisk, 'Music by Gershwin' University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance online blog, 2017). The photograph, book and accompanying letters were sent to Mrs Margaret ('Peggy') Dunne, an avid fan of the Gershwins, and have remained in the family since then.Provenance: Peggy Dunne (d.1992); thence by descent to the present owner.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Yeats), various photographs, maps, guidebooks, timetables etc., c.47 pages of notes, c.1966-1968; with first edition copies of Ithell Colquhoun's Sword of Wisdom: MacGregor Mathers and the Golden Dawn, London and New York, 1975, one inscribed by the author to Kitty (2), The Crying of the Wind, Ireland, 1955, and The Living Stones, Cornwall, 1957, [second half twentieth century] (collection)Footnotes:'THE OPENING OF THE SEALS IS FOLLOWED BY THE SOUNDING OF SEVEN TRUMPETS & THE POURING OF SEVEN VIALS': MAGICAL WRITINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS BY THE IMPORTANT BRITISH SURREALIST PAINTER, OCCULTIST & AUTHOR.Until recently the surrealist works of Ithell Colquhoun (1906-1988) have been somewhat overshadowed by better-known contemporaries such as Leonora Carrington and Eileen Agar, but interest in her art and writing is now firmly in the ascendant. Indeed, the scholar Amy Hale has noted that Colquhoun '...is becoming recognized as one of the most interesting and prolific esoteric thinkers and artists of the twentieth century...' (Amy Hale, 'The Magical Life of Ithell Colquhoun' in Nevill Drury, Pathways in Modern Western Magic, 2012) and argues that through Colquhoun's work '...we can see an interplay of themes and movements which characterizes the trajectory of certain British subcultures ranging from Surrealism to the Earth Mysteries movement and also gives us a rare insight into the thoughts and processes of a working magician...'.The magical material in this archive, save for four pages of notes and diagrams, was gathered together and published as The Magical Writings of Ithell Colquhoun in 2007 by Steve Nichols, a copy of which is included in the lot. It serves as a complement to Colquhoun's 1974 work, Sword of Wisdom: MacGregor Mathers and the Golden Dawn, her only published book on magical theory. The four essays entitled 'The Crown and the Kingdom' were also published by Steve Nichols as a separate volume in 2006. Much of it was delivered as lectures, notably to Countess Tamara Bourkhoun's Golden Dawn-inspired Order of the Pyramid and Sphinx in the 1960's, of which she was a prominent member, or articles in such publications as Prediction. She was an initiate of several different orders representing Hermetic and Pagan traditions including the OrdoTempli Orientis, the Masonic Order, the Fellowship of Isis and the French Gnostic Church. Colquhoun discovered surrealism through the work of Dali and Magritte whilst studying at the Slade under Henry Tonks, and joined the English Surrealist Group in 1939, exhibiting with Roland Penrose at the Mayor Gallery the same year. Her involvement with the British Surrealist movement, however, was to be brief as she was soon expelled from the group for refusing to abandon the occult research which had become central to her work. She was interested in the occult from an early age, particularly the principles of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, introduced through her cousin Edward Garstin, and she infused her art with elements of occult colour theory and sacred geometry, both of which she returned to in her later writings as evidenced here (see Amy Hale, The Magic Surrealism of Ithell Colquhoun, Art UK online, June 2020).The present collection represents many of her wide-ranging interests, drawing together her magical and artistic careers. In her short article of 1977, 'The Taro as Colour', a modern typed copy of which is included in the archive, she talks of her magical theory of colour and the surrealistic painting technique of automatism: '...It renders the essence of each card by the non-figurative means of pure colour, applied automatically in the manner of the psychomorphological movement in surrealism...' she explains. Also evident is her admiration for Celtic lore (one letter is from a Deaconess of the Ancient Celtic Church) and in particular W.B. Yeats, a Golden Dawn Adept who also used automatism in his work ('...Through his hermetic studies under MacGregor Mathews, Yeats was deeply embued with Qabalistic thought...'). Ithell's influential article about Aleister Crowley which appeared originally in the London Broadsheet, no.4, April 1955, is also present, typed and amended by the author: '...Ithells' attitude to Aleister Crowley was ambivalent. He chased her around a house once, but she managed to escape his advances...' (Nichols, p.3). Amongst the wealth of material here is a detailed description of a ritual, 'The Outline of Preliminary Ceremony Connected with the Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram', running to some five handwritten pages with red and black inks used to clarify which are spoken words and which are actions. As might be expected, there are also several striking illustrations, including a series of colourful painted diagrams depicting various configurations of The Cube.
